Multi-modal Tracking of In Vivo Skeletal Structures and Implants

Research Projects

The ability to accurately measure musculoskeletal kinematics is necessary to advance our understanding of normal joint function, the changes associated with musculoskeletal diseases, the effects of treatment, and results of treatment refinement. 

This project aims to develop a state-of-the-art, open-source software program to simplify and improve image-based musculoskeletal analysis. The software that first originated at Brown University was re-developed and expanded to broaden access to image-based kinematic analysis and provides a dynamic platform for the sharing of novel analysis algorithms, methodologies, and data, which will hasten translation to clinical implementation.
